PROMOTION REQUESTS

Before I get into the guts of it, I'd like to clarify what this thread is for. It is an OOC request for your character to be promoted IC. Essentially, as I am one person and cannot watch everyone's RPs, I need your help determining if your character is ready to elevate to the next rank. ICly, all promotions are 'issued' by the Vice Executive, Prime Executive, or the Guildmaster himself (an extremely rare occurrence). If approved, all members are to assume that the promotion was authorised by Jack Tamblyn, Vice Executive.

As with any organization, rank increases with experience and the tested ability of the being in question. In days past, a Retrade member was required to meet certain specific criteria for a promotion. A certain number of missions, or an operation that benefited the Retrade, as some examples. In modern times, the Ona'bak Retrade promotes based on several fronts. Merit, Performance, Duty, and Discretion. While these may sound like the same virtues held in high regard in the past, they are noted across a broader spectrum.

Key performance indicators are generally similar across all ranks, however the higher up the chain of command a soldier goes, the more he must display leadership and tactical prowess.

Some key questions to ask regarding your Member:

  • Does your character maintain discretion of the Retrade's involvement in all activities, and property holdings? Without discretion, the Retrade's success amounts to nothing, and the tenuous network built around it would crumble.
  • Does your character follow security protocols when dealing with any of the Enclaves? Should these protocols be dismissed, or ignored, the entire network is put at risk and could lead to its demise.
  • What does your character do to benefit the Ona'bak Retrade, its companies and/or its affiliates? The Retrade is all about business. A character who does nothing to benefit the network, does not merit a promotion.

If your character has evidence of demonstrating their worthiness for promotion, you are welcome to post your request for promotion in the following format. If your soldier does not qualify, please make appropriate arrangements.

Character Name:
Character Link:
Current Rank:
Requested Rank:
Promotion Brief:
(Please provide a short description of why your character is worthy of a promotion to the next rank.)
Links to Threads: (These threads are evidence to support your character's promotion brief)

If you have any issues regarding the outcome of your post, please PM Cassanova.

Character Name: Zak Cornet
Character Link: In the Siggy
Current Rank: Contractor
Requested Rank: Layman
Promotion Brief: He's a good gunslinger and ruthless, doing what ever it takes to get the job done. He is also good with explosives and demolition. Slice, Slice. What's that? He's now in your mainframe. You don't like that? To bad, he's at your front gate. You ask who he is? He's expected. What's that you hear? Oh that's just his bomb going off, your base has been destroyed.

lol +5 points for a funny promotion brief.
Congratulations, Layman. You now have full IC knowledge of the Enclaves, the Ona'bak Retrade, its resources, but now are held fully responsible for the information. Should you make the mistake of becoming a liability to the organisation's secrecy - you will be killed.

Congrats :)

Attention Members:

Just in case you weren't aware, the Time Skip is only around the corner, which will accelerate our 'date' forwards by ten years. Ten years is a uniquely long time for your characters to be sitting at a particular rank.

Start posting for Promotion requests for the timeskip now!

Character Name: Xanthus
Character Link: The Director
Current Rank: Enforcer
Requested Rank: Retainer
Promotion Brief:
Xanthus is now the Director of the Initiative, which is a relatively powerful independent faction considering that it was recently revived from almost nothing. Beyond that, he now controls Tacitus Corporation, and is allied with Hive Manufacturing and Komad Industries. Meaning: he is a powerful individual with powerful friends. Obviously he can bring much to the Retrade by himself, with his faction, and indirectly through other factions as a result of deals made and resources and materials acquired as the results. Finally, he has proven himself capable on at least one obvious occasion, as seen below.
